Doctor Robert redefines the concept of a Beatles tribute band, playing extended sets of music ranging from “Please Please Me” to “Abbey Road” with no two set lists ever being the same. Their high-energy shows are full of Beatles magic, as Casey Falter, Karen Janssen, Ben Wright, and Kevin Reinert love the challenge of re-creating even the most demanding musical compositions live onstage. Dressed in “Ed Sullivan”-style suits and a black mod-style dress, Doctor Robert brings playful enthusiasm and a fresh sound to the classic music and genius of the Beatles. For Doctor Robert, it’s purely about the music and the infectious energy it creates in a live setting, as they do not attempt to impersonate The Beatles. $10 Gen Admission $15 VIP RESERVE EARLY!

DR. ROBERT....a Beatles Tribute....In the almost two years since their beginnings “playing every Friday at the Firehouse [in Crested Butte],” remembers Ben, Doctor Robert (named after one of the more obscure Beatles tunes from the album “Revolver”) has logged a lot of miles and gigs, playing venues from the Gunnison Valley to the Front Range. Along the way, they have learned about 100 Beatles songs from all stages of the band’s evolution – from “Meet the Beatles” to “Abbey Road.” Along the way, they have developed a huge respect for the Beatles as musicians and craftsmen. “Straight song-writing genius,” says Casey. “They knew how to stop at the right time.” All the musicians say that working on the harmonies in the songs has made them better singers. But every song, even the most seemingly simple, presents challenges. However well they study the arrangements – Casey and Ben refer to themselves as “the notation people,” who study the written scores and transcriptions – “there’s always a nasty kick in each song for each of us,” says Karen.“ ‘Doctor Robert’ is a song from the second half of the ‘Revolver’ album,” Reinert said. “It’s sort of a ‘deep track’ as most people don’t realize they know it until they hear it (if they know it at all). The idea was John Lennon’s.Tickets: $10 GA $15 VIP....(1st 5 rows center- only 9 rows total!)DON'T MISS IT!

David Tipton - Chapman Stick Artist Join us for this special evening of live music improvised to forgotten films of the silent era.

David Tipton is an accomplished master of the Chapman Stick®, a stringed two-handed tapping instrument on which bass lines, chords and melodies are played simultaneously. His 2009 release “Residue,” a collection of original solo compositions performed on the Stick, garnered praise from critics and fans alike, including the instrument’s inventor, Emmett Chapman.

Beside being an active performer on the Chapman Stick, David also plays EWI (Electric Wind Instrument) and electronic percussion. State-of-the-art audio processing allows him to create lush, otherworldly soundscapes in real time, giving the impression that there are several performers playing at once. David will be pushing his musicianship to the extreme as he improvises music to a series of short silent films from the early days of cinema. The films offer an imaginative glimpse into a bygone age, at a time when stories were just starting to be told on the screen. The dreamlike, atmospheric quality of these silent gems perfectly compliments David’s evocative music. Join us for this feast of sights and sounds!
